Trump tries to clean up mess from possibly illegal cemetery photo op

Trump's campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung flatly denied the physical confrontation allegation, saying his team was prepared to release footage to refute the "defamatory claims,"

The claim is you were filming in Arlington, you dipshit. You're going to refute that by... releasing the footage?

shit is fucking WILD. Smiling with thumbs up at GRAVE SITE. This is absolutely bonkers.

Trump's campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung flatly denied the physical confrontation allegation, saying his team was prepared to release footage to refute the "defamatory claims,"

"We have proof, but you can't see it. Trust me bro"

But it sounds like the families said they gave trump permission...

Which does not change the law against literally using dead soldiers for campaigning.

It doesn't matter how many families say they're ok with it, filming an election ad in an Army national cemetery is illegal

The former president and Republican nominee posed for photos and videos alongside the families of two service members killed in an August 2021 bombing attack, and many critics questioned why Trump posed with a grin plastered on his face and his customary thumbs-up gesture.

What the actual fuck.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the official tried to enforce a federal law prohibiting political campaigns or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, which Cheung insisted was an individual experiencing a "mental health episode."

Oh, that's awesome. I'm a person with a diagnosed mental health issue (bi-polar). It's really cool how you're shitting on people like me and others who have similar issues. I bet a lot of soldiers have PTSD, which would also be a mental health issue. Fucking cool, right?

The dad is as much of a moron, thinking that his family can personally authorize Trump to shoot a campaign video at a national cemetery.

And so, what we have here is a man who has made clear he has no use for dead soldiers, except when he can use them as political props (and even then, it can't be raining). In my view, it does not matter one bit that some of these soldiers' relatives are willing to be accessories to Trump's performative "patriotism"

What fucking possibly?

There is a law✅ There is a published photo Op✅

I'm sure it doesn't occur to the families that Trump was the one who set the dominos that ultimately led to the bombing.

anyone who touched Arlington staff needs to be in cuffs facing charges.

there are some things you don't fuck with, and I'm pretty sure if you polled most conservatives with the prompt "would you support the execution of a draft dodger who defiled a veteran's gravesite with a tacky photo op" before trump, they'd be volunteering to pull the lever.

Frankly I'm amazed that Trump's obviously crippling bone spurs never seem to catch up with him at the golf course.

Cheung is a fucking sycophant nut job, not enough people tune in to him as the enforcer thug next to trump. Dangerous fucking piece of the shit puzzle, Randy.

He's like trump's hate/strength translator now. Trump incoherently babbles and dog whistles weakly and then Chueng steps in with press and clarifies to, "People without both arms are cunts and they should be drown publicly. And you, reporter covering this, your mom fucks horses. Next stupid question!"

That draft dodging pile of shit has no business on that land. That's an insult to anyone that served.

His compassion and respect meant more than words can express

I find it very hard to believe anyone described the turnip as “respectful and compassionate”.

Let's hear JD Vance fail in his next interview to defend this dispicable campaign stunt.

I wouldn't want to pose with this felon. Can Judge Merchan haul in Weird 34 to be thrown in jail now for violating the terms of his bail release, let alone being convicted?

Trump? Cleaning a thing up? Let’s be serious: he believes that’s a job for “the help”.

Fuck me even the parents are boot lickers

All I can gather is trump really hates conservatives. Everytime he spits in their face they lick it off. What's not to hate, I guess?

It's not like it's every now and then. It's every time he opens his mouth.

PSA that one of trumps attorneys (joe digenova) said that chris krebbs (after having said that the 2020 election was the most secure election in history) should be "taken out at dawn and shot"

It's the democrats that are using violent rhetoric guys, please calm down things like "defund the police" and "my body my rights" are violent and offend my feelings.

Please let there be video footage.

Elmo tried marking this as "unsafe" on Shitter so it wouldn't be clicked as much. I'm sure you know what to do.

Why were they allowed there at all? Angry orange is not a government employee anymore. If it was for just a photo op, can just anyone go there for that?

I'm with pink-shirt girl.

He does not look good. He hasn't for a while, but this is orders of magnitudes worse. I think this guy is going to die soon. You can see it in his face. I'm not even playing here. I sincerely think his most recent pictures are demonstrating the same telltale signs I saw in a few of my own family members who passed recently of heart attacks. If you know what it looks like it isn't hard to see. When your heart is barely holding on it shows up in a lot of ways. His face looks simultaneously bloated and constricted at the same time. It's being masked by copious amounts of makeup, but it's there. As much as I dislike him I think the moment it happens will still be awful for anyone around him. I give him 5-6mo tops.
